EU of Umbrella Idea Centuries Old Ancient Chinese Pattern Practically Unchanged Over Centuries An ingenious if somewhat unâ€" wieldy contraptoin of thin stecl vibs _ and â€" watershedding cloth, which every schoolboy hates, the imbrella has an interesting hisâ€" tory. It was introduced into the Western world from Asiatie counâ€" tries, where it is of great antiâ€" quity, says a writer in The New York Sun. Back in the carly Greek and Roâ€" man days, ladies of position carâ€" ied the umbrella. In the East it was used principally as a proteeâ€" tion against the blistering rays of the cun rather than as protection against rain. In certain Eastern countrics, too, it was an emblem of rank and power, and still is toâ€" day. In the Middle Ages high churchmen cartried it for the same reason. For centuries, of course, the umbrella has been a favorite vith the Japanese. to England from Italy early in the 18th century. It was used by woâ€" men, but was at first scorned by men as effeminate. Credit for its general adeption there goes to one Jonas Hanway, a determined sort of fellow and a world traveler. He became London‘s first regular umâ€" brellaâ€"carrier in the 1700‘s, izy~e». ing the jibes of other men ind even the jeers from coachmen, who feared that his strange shade might prove to be dangerous comâ€" netition for their business. TO ENXGLAND IN 1700‘s Some stories have it that the first umbrella was introduced inâ€" Doctor Warns Office Toilers "While many fractures are altri« butable to aniomobiles and indusâ€" trial accidents," Sultivan said, "I believe the increase may be traced to injuries among oflice workers who spend their Saturdays and Sunâ€" days playing tennis or skiâ€"ing, deâ€" spite the fact that they are not nhysically fit for such exercise." Dr. Leon J. Saul of the Institate staff said the studies led to a beâ€" lief that prolonged or severe frusâ€" trations of wishes for love, care or relaxation may be important factors in causing colds in some persons. One investigation, he said, disâ€" closed a group of nine individuais who suffered colds regularly in git« uations of frustration of strong, mostly unconscious demands "with more or less repressed rage." DaANCING IS BETTER Sullivan advised prospective athâ€" letic weekends to "develop their powers of resistance to accidents" by walking â€" or dancing.

Matt. 25:21, THE LESSON IN ITS;SETTING Time â€" Tuesday of Passion Week, A.D. 30. Place â€" The Mount of Olives. This lesson gives us a new conâ€" ception of the infinite wisdom and knowledge possessed by Christ conâ€" cerning the future. His prophecies have been fulfilled, and are being fulfilled throughout the age. The one fundamental thems running all through the Olivet discourse is the coming of the Son of man, as in dicated by the recurrence of such phrases as "the sign of thy comâ€" ing." The questions asked by the disâ€" ciples in this chapter have troubled the minds of men in every age. J¢éâ€" sus made a prophetic pronounceâ€" ment concerning the characteris tics of four different spheres during the long period between his departâ€" ure and his return. Nothing has taâ€" ken place during nineteon bundâ€" red years in these four spheres to contradict in any way the startling statements of the Lord. He preâ€" dicted that "the end of the ago" would be a time of disillusionment, of expectancy, of confusion in the minds of men, when multitudes would be looking for deliverance, PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Matt. 25:14. For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivâ€" ered unto them his goods. 15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several abilâ€" ity; and be went on his journey. 16. Straightaway ho that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. 17. In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. 18. But he that raceived the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord‘s money. 19. Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them, 20, And he that received the five talents came and byought other five talents, sayâ€" ing, Lord, thou doliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. 21. His lord said unto him, well done, good and faithful servant: thou has been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the :~y of thy lord. . And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, 1 have gained other two talents. 23. His lord said unto hini, well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over > any things; enâ€" ter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24. And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, râ€"~n~izg where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou did pot scatter; 25. and I was afraid, and went away and hid my talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own. 26. But his lord <«nswered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that 1 reap where I sowed not, and gathâ€" er where I did aot scatter; 27. thou oughtest to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. In this famous parable of the talents vyhich might really be called "the parable of the lord and his servants," we should remember that a talent in these days was the equivalent of about twelve thousand dollars. The re ward in the case of the man with five talents committed to him and in the case of the man with two is exactly the same. The reward of service is apportioned according to {idelity to opportunity. In the case of the nfaithful servant, first |‘s life was exposed; secondly, his talent was recalled; thirdly and ‘tinally he himself was cast out. The goods of the absent Lord are his reâ€" velation of God and of man, his provision for man‘s great need; his perpetual call; his mediation; his dynamic for paralyzed souls. We all have some of them committed to »=; talents, five, two, one accordâ€" ing to our ability and his choice; and these talents become our deâ€" Sunday School Lesson . . Charm Founded Deeply sincere kindliness is the foundation of real charm â€" the warm, glowing variety which puts others at their ease and makes the world a pleasanter place in which to live posit The Only Kind of Charm Worth Bothering About Springs From The Heart, Beauty Columnâ€" ist Writes The Canadian Expeditionary Force hockey team, which has been formed by Canadian soldiers now training in England, were so rushed for time when they visited Empress Hill for a workout that they took to the ico in battle dress. Here cne of the Canadians is "on the run" with a young figure skater as a partner. No matter how many books ske has read or speeches she has lisâ€" tened to on how to be charming, no woman ever will be until she has a truly kind and understandâ€" ing attitude toward the people she knows and those she meets. The only kind of charm worth bothering with springs straight from the heart. You can‘t strike an attitude of charm and be conâ€" vincing. The Really Charming Woman Nor can real charm be turned off and on to suit the occasion or your particular mood, asserts Alicia Hart, beauty columnist. If you are a charming person, you are a kind person and, with rare exceptions, you are kind all the time. The really charming woman can no more help being kind than the woman without charm can help being cruel in little ways and sometimes in big ones. Kindness, and therefore charm, come with understanding of the shortâ€"comings of human nature. And it‘s as great a mistake to see only the good side as it is to see only the bad. By all means see the good. But see the bad, too. And, instead of condemning, try to unâ€" derstand the why‘s and wherefore‘s of it. Of the 67 known metals about 12 are common and absolutely esâ€" sential to modern industry. The British Empire is rich in them, her mines a. treasureâ€"chest for gold (South Africa, Canada, Austraâ€" lia); tin (Britain, Malaya); copâ€" per (Rhodesia); aluminum (Canâ€" ada, Australia,â€" India); manganese Apart from these common metâ€" als there are many other lessâ€" known ones which are essential to war production. Radium, berylâ€" lium, palladium, cadmium, molyâ€" bdenum, and many other such valâ€" uable meats are found within the British Empire. Getting Careless With Gasâ€"Masks One of the most alarming sideâ€" lights of the war is the stubborn re fusal of the citizenry of Great Briâ€" tain to stay gas maskâ€"minded, says an observer, ONCE CONSIDERED RISKY Back in September the avorage man in the blackout, who wouldn‘t have dreamed of «going to work without a shirt, also carried a mask and for similar reasons.

MAY CONTAIN ANYTHING The snooper is constantly thrown off tha scent by the females beâ€" cause they tend to use a combined handbas and carrier. Worse still, it‘s never certain that the official square box. snakeskin case, or paâ€" per bag does really contain a mask. A. R. P. wardens report that often thera‘s nothing in it but sandwichâ€" es, lipstick and a library book. QUEEN CARRIES MASK Sometimes newspaper â€" photo graphs show that even the King‘s mask is not always in evidence. But his heavy service mask is often carried by a member of the entourâ€" age or is parked within easy reach in an official automobile, _ Queen Elizabeth is never seen without her beige corduroy sack slung over the left shoulder. World Cotton Output Lower The world did not produce near ly so much cotton in the 1938â€"39 season as in either of the two seaâ€" sons immediately previous, and it did not consume nearly so much as in the season second previous, according to a review of the 1938â€" 39 season contained in the twelfth Cotton Year Book of the New York Cotton Exchange just issued. Production of cotton by the enâ€" tire world in the seaso. of 1988â€"39 was roughly 25 per cent. less than in the previous season. World proâ€" duction dropped from 36,784,000 to 27,407,000 bales, a decrease of 9,877â€" 000 bales. The greater portion of this docrease occurred io the Unitâ€" ed States, and was due partly to a reduction in acreage and partly to a lower average yield per acre. Abroad, smaller production | was reported by China, India and al@o Egypt. Patrolman Alien Chester of Toaâ€" awanda, N.Y., believes he has a "surcâ€"fire" method of rescuing iceâ€" marooned dogsâ€"simply send anâ€" other one out on the ice. Unable to find means of transâ€" portation to reach a puppy strugâ€" gling aimlessly in Niagara River last week, Chester attached a rope to another dog, then waved the animal out on the ice. The decoy dog‘s appearance arâ€" oused the endangered puppy, which promptly struggled to firm ice. As Chester pulled the decoy toward shore, the puppy followed, barely able to wag its tail. Decoy Is Used To Rescue Dog 19389 Production Declines From Two Previous Seasons GREW LESS BOOST PRODUCTION Urging Ontario farmers to strive for greater production to meet warâ€" time needs, W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, has warnâ€" ed the Ontario Agricultural Council that such increase could only be attained successfully by increasing yields on the land now under cultiâ€" vation. "Concentrate on good land and good seeds," he advised. "In this way you can increase production without breaking more land, thus avoiding the difficulty of trying to farm marginal lands." VALUE OF MANURE Manure is not in itself a balancâ€" ed fertilizer, being very low in phosphorus, but it contains notable amounts of nitrogen and potash, and these are present chiefly in the liquid portion which too often is allowed to leach away. _ Apart from its value as a source of plant food, manure possesses other virtâ€" ues. It improves the texture and moistureâ€"holding capacity of soil and builds up the humus content, and also introduces the beneficial bacterial organisms which in the known and unknown ways promote favourable biological and chemical processes in the soil, United States Best Customer Bought Most Canadian Exports Last Year â€" Canadian Tota!
